Off He Goes ~ Pearl Jam

Know a man

His face seems pulled and tense

Like he's riding on a motorbike

In the strongest winds

So I approach with tact

Suggest that he should relax

But he's always moving much too fast

Said he'll see me on the flipside

Of this trip he's taken for a ride

He's been takin' too much on

There he goes

With his perfectly unkept clothes

There he goes...

He's yet to come back

But I've seen his picture

Doesn't look the same up on the rack

We go way back...

I wonder bout his insides

It's like his thoughts are too big for his size

He's been taken - where? I don't know

Off he goes

With his perfectly unkept hope

There he goes...

And now I rub my eyes

For he has returned

Seems my preconceptions are

What should have been burned...

For he still smiles

And he's still strong

Nothing's changed,

but the surrounding bulls**t that has grown

And now he's home

And we're laughing

Like we always did

My same old... same old friend

Until a quarter-to-ten

I saw the strain creep in...

He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next

Before his first step

He is off again...

Friends Of Mine - Ian Tyson

These friends of mine

We've shared some good times together

Days of sunshine, days of rain

The many jobs, the many towns

We worked and never

Cared if we saw the same towns again

But then one day

We weren't as young as before

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo

But by all those roads, my friend

We've travelled down

I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you

These friends of mine

They never cared about tomorrow

It was too early in the game

They'd stay awhile until the day

They'd get to wonderin'

If the far side of the hill looked the same

And they'd settle down

Somewhere along the way

Yes and some went wrong, as some men do

But by all those roads, my friend

We've travelled down

I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you.

If your friend is moving on, how about:

Movin' On - Missouri

Intro-

And that road goes on and on into the sunset.

And my destiny is bound to move me on.

And I'll never find the one to satisfy my soul there.

Girl I want you but I just gotta go.

Girl I want you but I just gotta go.

Girl I want you but I just gotta go.

Movin' on,

from town to town.

I'm alone,

on my own.

All my life,

When I been movin'.

Don't know why,

Just gotta go.

And that road goes on and on into the sunset.

And my destiny is bound to move me on.

Never find the one to satisfy my soul there.

Girl I want you and I just gotta go.

One day soon,

I'll stop my searchin'.

Find a girl,

hey and settle down.

don't know how,

but I keep movin'.

Lot's of places,

I've never been.

And that road goes on and on into the sunset.

And my destiny is bound to move me on.

Never find the one to satisfy my soul there.

Girl I want you but I just gotta go.

Girl I want you, but I just gotta go.

Girl I want you, but I just gotta go.
